<p>Studies have shown (I forgot where this is from, but someone told me it was from a book) that if a college took all the applicants who had a certain cutoff GPA, standardized test scores, and extracurricular activities, placed all these applicants into a hat, and pull out randomly 3000 people to be accepted, the randomly-drawn class would be just as strong as the incoming class chosen by the admissions officers.</p>
<p>Honestly guys, a lot of it is hoping that the person reading your application is having a good day. It’s so much luck involved. Compared to you all, I totally did not deserve to get in. I actually feel kind of bad for getting in. :(</p>
